A random collection of recipes that I have found, were given to me, or are happy kitchen accidents. You will find weekly menu plans here as well as random posts about housekeeping. Mostly, it's about the food. Enjoy!

Mix well and store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to six months.Yield: about 8 cups total

To prepare: Shake mix well. In a large microwave-safe bowl mix 1/2 cup oatmeal and 3/4 cup water. Cook on HIGH 3 minutes, stirring every minute. (or do what I do and prepare cereal in an 8-cup glass measuring cup--I find that the the cup is deep enough that even 2 servings of oatmeal cooked at a time don't boil over)

Flavour variations: Change the oatmeal by substituting different dried fruits and spices. To make cream flavours substitute nondairy powdered coffee creamer for some of the skim milk powder.
